CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 10, 2025
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID SATURDAY WILL BE A BIG DAY BECAUSE OF PLANNED HIGH-LEVEL NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN. HIS GOAL? STOP IRAN FROM OBTAINING A NUCLEAR WEAPON THAT COULD BE USED AGAINST ISRAEL AND EVEN THE UNITED STATES.
WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE WITH GERMANY IN 1938, WITH NORTH KOREA AND PREVIOUSLY WITH IRAN. DICTATORS AND RELIGIOUS FANATICS LIE TO THE WEST. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR DESIRE NOT TO GO TO WAR AND USE THAT DESIRE TO ADVANCE THEIR OWN AGENDA.
FOR SOME REASON WE DON’T GET THE MESSAGE. IRAN’S AYATOLLAHS HAVE OPENLY SAID THEY BELIEVE ALLAH IS GIVING THEM A NUCLEAR WEAPON SO THEY CAN CARRY OUT HIS WILL TO ELIMINATE ISRAEL AND KILL JEWS. THEY HAVE SAID SO ON MANY OCCASIONS. WHY DON’T WE BELIEVE THEM?
DO WE THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO REGARD US AS INFIDELS AND WORTHY OF DEATH CAN PERSUADE THEM TO CEASE BUILDING A BOMB WHEN THEY BELIEVE ALLAH COMMANDS IT?
THE LATE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER MARGARET THATCHER SAID IT BEST: “WE IN THE WEST MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN WE TRANSPOSE OUR MORALITY ON THOSE WHO DON’T SHARE IT.” DON’T LOOK FOR THESE SATURDAY TALKS TO PRODUCE ANYTHING GOOD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
